Family fun


Today is our family fun day and it has been swell.

This has been the first day of me not sitting in the recliner all day. I have been spending my mornings sleeping in the recliner and then my sweet neighbor Sara has been coming over to check on me and serve me lunch. We then watch a chick flick and then it is time for nurse Sara to go get her little guy Jacob and my Dr Landen to come home to then care for Mommy. Dr.Landen has learned how to clean the kitchen, load the dish washer correctly and cook a frozen lasagna.

In the evenings I have spent my time on the sofa while Brian makes dinner, completes homework assignments with the little ones and gets everyone in the tub and ready for bed. Lilly has enjoyed being Daddy's bed buddy.

Today I decided to only take my pain med's as needed which has made it easier on my nasea and I have been able to walk around more with the children. We went to Landens basketball game and then to see the concrete slab for our new house. The children love playing in our new back yard and we all can not wait for the next 17 weeks to fly by.

I am getting the itch to start packing and sorting through the things that will be going in the moving sale. As soon as I am back to normal I will be calling Harris Teeter for their boxes and start the process. The last time we moved I almost halved our belongings I wonder how well I will do this time??? This will be the best spring cleaning job ever because this is our last move!

If any of you have any ideas on paint colors I am still in need of advice. Our main colors are pottery barn red (our sofa), 70's green if you have seen my living room wall in my post from Thanksgiving. I really like black and white zebra print as well. Help me ladies!!!

May the Lord bless your family this weekend!
